You can collect an electronic signature and make it part of your inspection report. To do this, you first need to add a signature line to your template, and below are the steps for doing this.
- The first step is to log in to the InspectARide portal by entering your username and password here: https://www.inspectaride.com/login.
- Once logged in, go to 'Templates'.
- Here we have a list of all of our templates. Let's select the one we want to add a signature to, which will be the 'Basic Vehicle' template in this example. We could also choose to create a new template and follow the same process.
- Now tap on 'Edit' so we can make changes to it.
- Now we need to decide where we want the signature to show up. We can insert it in any existing categories or create a new category in which to add it. To keep things simple for this example, we'll add it to the end of the last category in this template which is the Road Findings category. We'll scroll down to this category and tap on the + icon to the right of the category to add a new line.
- We want to change the line type from 'Rating and Note' to 'Signature' on our new line. This is done by tapping on 'Rating and Note' and selecting 'Signature' from the dropdown.
- Now that we've selected Signature as the line type, we need to give the line a prompt by tapping on 'Line Prompt', which will be the line's name. Let's say this signature is for the inspector to sign after they complete the inspection, so we'll type in 'Inspector' and tap on the checkmark to the right.
- The last step for saving the line is to tap on 'Save New Line'.
- Now that we have the signature line setup, we're ready to publish this template to be available on our mobile devices. To do this, scroll back to the top and tap on the 'Publish' button. As long as the 'Deploy when Published' setting is set to 'ON', then the next time you open your mobile device, and it has an internet/data connection, this updated template will be available.
- When we start our next inspection with the template we can see the signature line we set up. Well done!
